I learned how to knit about
a month and a half before I learned that I was
going to be an aunt for the first time. Needless
to say, that was all the inspiration I needed
to learn anything and everything I could. Maggie
was the recipient of many of my firsts: first
knitted hat, first knitted booties, first knitted
sweater, etc. Birthdays have thus far been great
opportunities for inspiration, and this sweater
was originated for her second birthday. It's
the perfect little sweater to provide an extra
layer for your little lady on a breezy spring
or autumn day.

Sister-in-law Morgan provides
this helpful tip: have the little lady ball
her hands into fists before putting her arms
through the sleeves in order to avoid little
fingers getting caught in the lacework.
